Manchinken — Restaurant in Nagoya

We happened to stay in an AirBnB right across the road. Didn't know this place existed. Started seeing people line up to got our attention. Wife said they have gyoza, wings, and ramen. We had to go. Then found out this place was famous for a certain type of ramen, tamago toji ramen. It's a chicken soup that's mixed with eggs, like egg drop soup, but oh so much better. The broth is rich with egg, the egg floating around, small strands and pieces everywhere, waiting to cling to the thin noodles as you slurp them up. The thin noodles are important, getting tangled in the soup, ensuring each bite has thick eggy soup along with the noodles. Side notes the gyoza were delicious as well, 8 small, bite size morsels of goodness. The wings were served burn your fingers hot, spiced with a Chinese 5 spice flavor. Wish I could return...

The wait was definitely worth it!!

We came to Manchinken Ramen restaurant on a recommendation from our Airbnb host.

We put our name down on a waiting list and lined up for around 30mins. Once our name came up, we were called and taken to our table out there back. The service was efficient, friendly and quick.

We.ordered.teo.ramen wonton soups, fried rice,. mayonnaise shrimo and gyoza. They all came out almost instantaneously.

The food was so delicious The Ramen broth was eggy and devine, what a treat! The.gyoza were a bit in the small.size, but also cooked to perfection.

Most impressive was the bill which was less than ¥5000!! 2 adults and 2 kids had a wonderful culinary experience that night. We will be back tomorrow night. Thank you Manchinken for warming our hearts and...

It is a long-established store that has been in business for 54 years since the first owner started the business. It is a very popular store that customers are always waiting. I finally had time to spare, so I wrote my name on the waiting board and got in line.

I was finally able to eat the "Egg Toji (topped with egg) Ramen" that I have been offering since 1968. As advertised, it was excellent!!! Even in Fukuoka Hakata, I have never seen such thin noodles. The beaten egg was firmly entwined with the noodles. The compatibility with the soup is also wonderful, and I ate it all at once with draft beer.

Fried rice, dumplings, and mapo tofu are also popular. I will definitely order...
